Need suggestions!

[Emilee68 46]

I'm 6 days post op and I'm on full liquids for 2 more weeks so far I've had creamy Soups, Water with crystal light and propels, sf Popsicles, sf carnation Breakfast and Premier Protein. All of these I'm getting sick of and I can barely get through them. I'm having TERRIBLE head hunger and even feeling like I regret the surgery because I just wanna eat something. Any suggestions on some different liquids to try to get me through 2 more weeks of this???

I can't remember.. But can you have watery malt o meal at that stage?

The reason...is that on full liquids some people can have cream or wheat like things (watered down)

I made my malt o meal with homemade chicken broth so I could have something savory and more "meal" like! Don't judge! I was desperate!

I (unfortunately) don't have any suggestions for you... BUT, I wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this internal struggle. I am five days out and my diet consists of the exact same items that you have listed. I have found that I am very found of creamy chicken broth (reminds me of a chicken pot pie, without the yummy crust). I can't for the life I me get my premier Protein shakes down, so I've ordered some sample packets of syntax unflavored Protein. My thought is to mix that in with some fruit punch crystal light, so I can at least get some protein in.

Hang in there. I KNOW this will be worth it in the long run. Everybody says this is the hardest stage. I can now see why...

Have you tried plain non-fat greek yogurt yet? I add some orange flavor mio to it and it takes yummy. I also get SF pudding. You can do it....2 week isn't that long when you think about how much healthier you're gonna get. Good luck with it!

I used to add different seasonings to my broth to change the flavors... Mrs. Dash & garlic powder were my favorites. SF jellos were good too.

Can't have Malto meal until soft stage, no yogurt yet either and I can't even have Jello I may try the different seasoning in the broth though. I'm just struggling to get enough Protein and Water and nothing tastes good

No Jello, wow. That's odd. Almost all docs consider jello as a clear liquid. And yogurt as a full liquid. Talk about strict.

Unfortunately Head Hunger is just something you have to deal with at this stage, check the carb levels on the carnation instant breakfast. If you are consuming carbs, your cravings will be harder to deal with.

I can't have yogurt yet either. But sf Jello has been one of my greatest loves! When can you advance to jello???

[Emilee68 46]

It's the sf carnation instant breakfast. My surgeon listed it in the post op folder so I assume he's ok with it. I've only had a half of a bottle...it just doesn't taste good.

I can't advance to Jello until the soft stage...that's another 2 weeks

I will say this first week (or two in your case) is a major adjustment, to say the least.

Hang in there... There is light at the end of the tunnel!!!
